Naveen Kumar

Naveen Kumar, 8 years old from Andhra Pradesh, is the only child to Murgesh and Kavitha. Since birth he has had to deal with the hardships of having a Heart Disorder. To be precise, the diagnosis has been narrowing of the Aortic Valve and Aortic Stenosis. His parents were both a little unaware of the problem and it’s seriousness. With each passing age, Naveen developed breathlessness and could hardly walk. They took their son to the local district hospital where the doctors diagnosed him with a Heart Disorder and referred him to a higher center for treatment. The parents took their son to Chennai, in search of answers and they were direct to Miot Hospital for further evaluation. The parents were counseled for surgery – and Naveen’s father who is a laborer earning Rs 5000 per month could not put the funds together to pay for his son’s only solution to live. Through your donation via The Aara Project, we have been able to support his surgery. His Aortic Valve has been repaired and he is on a new path to recovery. Naveen is a school going child – attending first grade, we have been able to give him the opportunity to go back to school.
